Abstract: A hinge is provided for use with a refrigerator. In one example, the refrigerator includes one or more cabinets having an insulated refrigerator door. A hinge plate is coupled to the cabinet and includes a hinge pin that can be received by an aperture of the door to permit the door to pivot relative to the cabinet and a stop pin. The hinge also includes an intermediate member that has a hole for receiving the hinge pin and a recess for receiving a portion of the stop pin. The intermediate member is pivotable relative to the hinge plate about the hinge pin. The recess of the intermediate member is bounded by a wall, and a portion of the wall forms a stop member for engagement with the stop pin to constrain movement of the intermediate member when the door is pivoted open a predetermined amount relative to the hinge plate.

Abstract: A method for applying elastic elements (1a, 1b, 1c) to a continuous material web (7) includes a first roll device (4, 5; 4, 5?) for advancing the elastic elements (1a, 1b, 1c) in series and at a first predetermined speed (v1) and a second roll device (6; 11, 12) for advancing the material web (7) at a second predetermined speed (v2). The second speed (v2) exceeds the first speed (v1) and the method includes an abutment surface (6; 10a) arranged at a distance (d) from the first roll device (4, 5; 4, 5?) which is less than the combined thickness of the elastic elements (1a, 1b, 1c) and the material web (7), an elongation of the elastic elements (1a, 1b, 1c) in their longitudinal direction being realized as they pass between the first roll device (4, 5; 4, 5?) and the said abutment surface (6; 10a).

Abstract: An arrangement for applying elastic elements (1a, 1b, 1c) to a continuous material web (7) includes a first roll device (4, 5; 4, 5′) for advancing the elastic elements (1a, 1b, 1c) in series and at a first predetermined speed (v1) and a second roll device (6; 11, 12) for advancing the material web (7) at a second predetermined speed (v2). The second speed (v2) exceeds the first speed (v1) and the arrangement includes an abutment surface (6; 10a) arranged at a distance (d) from the first roll device (4, 5; 4, 5′) which is less than the combined thickness of the elastic elements (1a, 1b, 1c) and the material web (7), an elongation of the elastic elements (1a, 1b, 1c) in their longitudinal direction being realized as they pass between the first roll device (4, 5; 4, 5′) and the said abutment surface (6; 10a).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for producing a material laminate (1) by fixing pieces of material (2) at a given distance from one another on a first continuously advanced material web (4). The invention is characterized in that the pieces of material (2) are cut from a second continuous web (7) in a first station (3) and are conveyed via a transport device (10) to the first web (4), to which the piece of material (2) is attached by means of ultrasonic welding over a limited attachment area (5) on the pieces of material (2), and the pieces of material (2) are subsequently fixed to the material web (4) by ultrasonic welding in a second station (6). The second station comprises an ultrasonic horn (18) at a fixed distance from a stay (19) designed as a rotating drum with a patterned outer surface.
